Howard The Duck Comic Announced

In a move that shows Marvel are not afraid to take any chances right now, Entertainment Weekly have broke the news that Howard The Duck will get his own series in March 2015. After his brief cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy it seems the world is ready to forget the diabolical 90’s Howard the Duck movie and bring the character back into the public eye.

Check out the baby Groot on the filing cabinet.

Howard will be arriving on Earth from the Marvel cosmic comics to become a private detective. Chip Zdarsky will write the series and Joe Quinones will provide art. Zdarsky had the following to say about the series:

”He’s an everyman who happens to be a duck! I love the contrast of Howard against both the normal world of us hairless apes and the weird worlds of Man-Things and Dr. Stranges and Spider-Mans. ‘Cause he doesn’t fit into either, really. I’m just going to continue exploring those contrasts, but my ultimate goal is to make it funny. Marvel has taken chances on funny books and injecting humor into superhero titles, so I want to make sure this is worth some chuckles here and there.”

This will be one of the most interesting books to keep an eye on next year and who knows maybe Howard will get a second chance at movie stardom down the line.
